AT MANKATO.

MANKATo. March 21.-The ice is gorged
in the Minnesota from a point about two
miles down the river from Mankota to the
mouth of the Blue Earth river The water
rose rapidly all day yesterday and last
night, and it is feared that North Mankato
will be flooded. The jam was caused by
the ice moving out of the Blue Earth be-
fore the Minnesota had broken up. Cellars
along Front street are filling with water.
and the water is overfowing the street at
the North MankOta approach to the bridge.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, March 21-Representa-
tiveS of the Merchants National bank, of
DeadWood, Dak., spent yesterday with
Comptroller of the Currency Trenholm, at
his residence near the British minister's, for
the purpose of discussing the future pros
poets of the institution, which suspended
few weeks ago. President Stebbins, one of
the largest stockholders of the bank, Judge
Mclaughlin, one of the directors and Mr.
Martin, the legal adviser of the bank, COM
posed the party, and the details were very
carefully gone over with the comptroller,
looking to a resumption of business at an
early date. AS a result of the conference
arrangements were perfected looking to all
assessment Of so per cent. upon the stock
holders, payable at once, and it was thought
that by the middle of next month the doors
could be again opened to depostors. by
this arrangement" said Comptroller
Trenholm to-day in speaking of the
matter, lat least $50, 900 of fresh
money will be put into circulation in Dead
wood, and | don't anticipate any but the
best results from the agreement made be-
tween the banks representatives and my
self. By making the assessment to which
have referred

active operations with capital enough to
meet all probable demands, for its capital
will remain unimpaired. As far as | can
ascertain the bank has not lost any such
sum as its stockholders are assessed for, but
considerable of the working capital has
been locked up temporarily, and it is to
meet this demand that extra money must
be raised There is an element hostile to
the resumption of business by the bank,
but the animus for their action is found in
the fact that they are indebted to the insti-
tuition, and they had hoped for the appoint
ment OF a receiver. If such an arrangement
had been carried out they would have
sought to compromise regarding the
paper held by the bank, whereas, under
the plan that l have indicated all obllga-
tions must be met in full. Meanwhile the
bank will remain in charge of the exam
iner. who, under instructions from my of
flee, will afford the stockholders every facil-
ity for carrying out the project looking to a
resumption Of business and inside of a
couple of weeks or so the Merchants Ma
tional bank, of Deadwood will again be a
solvent financial institution. Ever since its
suspension [ have been of the opinion that
a satisfactory plan looking to that end
might be accomplished. and my conferences
with the banks representatives fully demon

the lowest place. If the track had been a
foot higher not drop of water would have
entered that part of the town north of the
track. superintendent Greene has plenty
of coal to supply all with fuel and the gro
cery stores are all well stocked. There is
no suffering and all the citizens are well
housed. Editor Tuttle, of the Mandan
Pioneer, Editor Marney, of the Stock Grow
erS' Journal, Miles City. and six others
armed themselves with ropes and stats this
morning and left Bismarck for Mandan.
ACROSS THE ICE.
They tramped over two miles of broken
ice, and after several of the party getting
ducked. reached terra tirma on the west
bank of the river. The leader of the party
had piece of rope tied around his body
and the others held on. prepared to pull him
ont if he stepped in. He estepped in several
times, once or twice so that there was not
much to be seen of him below his
shoulders and those that followed
him had their turn at being
ducked. Two telegraph lnemen passed
over. half an hour ahead of the larger
party, but it was exceedingly difficult to
follow their tracks. The greatest difficulty
was experienced by the party when near
the Mandan side. The stream of water
flowing across on the bottom of the Main
street kept channel open, and the walk
ing was very perilous, and things
looked treacherous, but with shouts
of Joy the party landed. The
trip from the trestle of the Mandan
shore was made in about an hour and half.
A good many of the streets are full in
Mandan, but there is no suffering. The
water is spreading over vast extent OF
country and still rising slowly, but it is
supposed the gorge will break before it rises
much higher.

Duluth, Aug, 16.--The sale of an
interest in the St. Louis River
Water Power company is 81 most i'm
portant event for Duluth and the re-
gion, at the head Of Lake Superior.
The names Of the purchasers are not
yet divulged, but they compose a
syndicate Of moneyed men from the
East, perhaps including SEINE foreign
capitalists. The St. Louis Water
Power company was organized by
Jay Cooke and others in 1870 and
the franchise to the power secured for
twelve miles from Fond du Lac to
Thompson, which includes the famous
dalles Of the river, which descend 500
feet in the twelve miles. The
original capital Of the company was
100000, but within the last year
or two it was increased to $2,0OO,000.
The sale includes q quarter Of the
whole, $500, OO0,at par value. The
money goes into the treasury, and
will he used in the construction of
the first dam, and perhaps Of others.
The first dam will,be located at the
foot of the rapids, and dredging will
will easily make the river.
NANIG ABLE TO IT
1t will be eight hundred feet long and
twenty feet high. This will turn the
river int ali old channel on the
south side, which enters the river
again below the head of navigation,
thus forming natural basin for the
water, having several hunded feet Of
area. Outside of the immense power
the beauty Of the location is that at a
comparatively small cost for dredging
the river in. q few places, it can be
made accessible to the largest lake
boats coming to Duluth. The first
dam will have 5000 horse power, and
even at the lowest stage Of
water can grind 10000 barrels of
-four day, and by the other dams
the power will be increased ten-fold.

Utility of Advertising.
From the Manufacturers Gazette.

!, Since the invention of printing
with types, which dates back further
than the time Of Gutenberg, there
has been no time when the advertis-
ing were more fully understood and
appreciated than atspresent. The
benefits derived from a judicious use
Of printers ink have been so obvious
that it has come to be recognized
axiom among business men that the
more literally is used, the greater be,
come the chances of winning success
Of course there are isolated cases, IN
which men who have won prosperity
without its aid will scout at the idea
Of it is proving a valuable auxili-
airy to others. 1t will be found ON
inspection, however, that these fossils,
for your true opponent Of advertising
is necessarily all Anticipated man,
succeeded by pure luck, and not
through the exercise of any special
talents possessed by them. On the
other hand, how numerous are the
instances in which men Of sense aided
by the publicity afforded by news
paper advertising, have been enabled
to reverse the rulings Of fate, which
would, had they Quietly asquiesced
relegated them to the obscurity Of
failure.
The history Of the successful bust
ness men Of this country is sc
pregnant with tributes to advertis.
ing that the Hrst attempt to give q
collection Of biographical sketches OF
thoce who had Won fame and fortune in
the ranks Of trade was made by a
firm devoted entirely t. the pro-
fession ofseculing advertisements and
having the same published. 1t is 9
singular fact that this series Of biog.
raphies embrace the names of nearly
all the prominent men who have
amassed wealth as merchants, manu-
facturers or professionals: and un-
doubted evidences arc y .esentcd with
each sketch that no small part Of
their good fortune was owing to thei,
shrewdnes III attracting public atten-
ton to their business, through the
medium Of the press. Such striking
Instances of SUCCESS as are rehearsec

do otherwise than carry conviction t
to I'LL minds ready to receive sensible
impressions; anil therefor we arc
afforded spectacle Of all classes eager
ly striving to gain the greatest posi-
ible publicity, not always, however, a
the greatest possible cost. Indeed
the opposite is sometimes the case
The newly tledgod advertiser otter
devotes his attention to circunvent
ing the business Office Of newspaper
But the regular, legitimate and per
sistent advertiser learns and appreci
tes the value Of such publicity, ant
willingly pays the cost in established

To Our Subscribers.

We need every dollar that is owed us
on subscriptions. Advertising has
drop ince Christmas, but it costs
just l.. dch-more for that matter
to get Uut the REFLECTOR every week,
as when advertising was flush. We
must now depend upon our subscrip-
ton accounts. We know that many OF
our subscribers feel hard-up; but many
of them are abundantly able to pay,
but neglect to give attention to what
seems small matter. There are some
names on our list, however, who have
not paid anything for years. We have
been paying out good money for them
every week, and they ought to do some
thing for US.
We are willing to carry man for a
reasonable time if he is unable to pay,
but there is limit to good nature and
our pocket book. Now, we ask this
favor of our subscribers: Send US by
mail, or otherwise, just what you can
afford. If every subscriber would send
us 80 cents it would aggregate a good
many hundred dollars. If you can't
remit large amount, send small one.
Surely, there is not one of our subScrib-
ers who cannot afford to spare us some
thing.
